AA research is also very useful for the Axis in the west. I used to regard it as a luxury, which is true against Russia, but the air situation in the west cries out for some protection for combat units and resources against devastating ...

Does the detection level of an HQ unit in a hex affect the effectiveness of attacks on that hex (13.1 and 13.2.1)? I ask because it seems that HQ are harder to detect – their detection level seems to go up more slowly than other units in a hex when moved adjacent to.

Soviet industry was flexible during the war, but there *had* to have been a breaking point somewhere in there and the game doesn't model that very well. You can drive them virtually off map w/o seriously hampering production.

Well, at the risk of repeating myself...

The facts are worth repeating, so go ahead. [8D]

Auto update worked fine. Fired it up vs the AI, 1.03 all the way.

Interesting that when logging into multiplayer the message "A newer version [1.02] is available" pops up. [&:] Haven't played mp in Slitherene yet, so maybe this is known.

Interesting idea. May I suggest whoever does this agree on using only one or two sources, heavy on maps, for use in determining what is "historic". Otherwise it may degenerate into arguing what happened in history before it ever gets translated into game moves.

<r> As someone who actually played Drang nach Osten / Unentschieden I can say unequivocally that you're wrong. Proof? The fact we also played Fire in the East / Scortched Earth.

In 1938, British Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, flew to see Hitler in the then most up-to-date US airliner, from London's main aerodrome, Croydon, the landing area is grass, only the parking area is concrete.

<t> Not about territory per se, but a thought on Soviet casualties.
